M3 Server is a connectivity tool that allows Oasis to search the catalog database. It also acts as a usage monitoring tool, allowing administrators to view server information, TCP/IP port statistics, and database usage. Information about the activity of every port is contained in the log file.
M3 Server may be configured for users to search more than a single database at one time, as in a central server configuration. This tool should only be configured by Mandarin technical personnel, or by system administrators with the assistance of Mandarin technical personnel.
In the event a server in a multi-server environment is down, Oasis will proceed and load a functioning session.
